I have a Student model that has_many :attendances. My Attendance model has a "date" attribute - the various days the student attended class. How would I sort my Students list so the student who has attended class most recently are at the top? In other words with the most recent attendances.date? How would I do this in a named_scope? Thanks - nice site. Chris How would a named_scope work in this example?
